The United Nations-Indigenous Peoples’ Partnership (UNIPP) is a collaborative framework
established by the ILO, OHCHR, UNICEF and UNDP as a commitment to the UN Declaration
on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and in response to the recommendations of the UN
Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. The purpose of UNIPP is to support capacities of
multiple actors, in particular governments and indigenous peoples, to establish effective
dialogue processes, partnerships and mechanisms aimed at guaranteeing indigenous
peoples’ rights. UNIPP is the first global inter-agency rights-based initiative with a
programmatic focus on indigenous peoples primarily at the country level.
